Swann is no stranger to BBC Radio, having co-presented the Sony award winning Not Just Cricket show on Radio 5 live with Radio 1's Greg James and fellow England bowler James Anderson.

"It's an honour to continue my relationship with BBC Radio," he added. "I am particularly looking forward to returning to the Kensington Oval in Barbados with so many happy memories of our World Twenty20 victory there in 2010."

Richard Burgess, the head of BBC sports news and radio sport, said: "We're delighted that Graeme is joining the Test Match Special team in the West Indies.

"After so recently leaving the England set-up, Graeme will bring genuine insight to the audience, analysis of the game as well as his trademark sense of humour."

England play three ODIs and three T20s against the West Indies from 28 February - 13 March and each match will be available on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra and the BBC website.
